Welcome to SHARE! Our aim is to make Deaf heritage accessible, so that everyone can enjoy and learn from our rich and beautiful history.
SHARE was developed by the British Deaf Association. We wanted to preserve our vast photo and video archive and make it available to the Deaf community, providing them with an online space where they could learn about and engage with their heritage. But it was equally important that we SHARE this with those outside the Deaf community, making our history accessible to all.
The BDA has already shared its own archive – and now we encourage you to do the same. As well as leaving your comments, stories and memories on our materials, why not upload your own and become part of the SHARE experience?
